@Nuke77 - Yes, The Shadow Sun will be released this year. Just ignore comments that claim the game is vaporware. As I mentioned on our Ossian forums, we’ll be releasing some screenshots soon, which should put your mind at ease about the status of the game.

I just checked posts by "Alan Miranda" on the Ossian Studios forum thread for TSS and it seems he is sort of active on there. However, his posts are so irrelevent and provide people on that forum with no real info on what's happening to the actual game.

We're pretty close to entering beta. The critical path and all sidequests are fully playable. Some elements of the GUI are still being finalised and Alan is still busy managing the sound pipeline and what remains of the art pipeline (very little at this point). I expect screenshots will be coming as soon as we have the final GUI art. The game will absolutely be released this year.

FYI, I rented Max Payne 3 last week. I played for an hour - and then became so engrossed with TSS that I didn't touch it again until I returned it to the store.

I guess that means Ossian makes better games than Rockstar.

Awesome!! I'm really happy to hear that development is coming along so well too!! I can't freakin' wait to MASH the buy button on this game!! :-D

That's awesome! I think we all know that deep down, TSS is gonna be amazing! However, it is taking a little long :P I'm anxiously waiting for it to release.
